No, I haven't played banjo at all. I used to play classical guitar though. Martin Simpson is quite influenced by banjo styles, so it probably comes from the song.
Thank you, knobstick. The pickup is a Lace/national. I think it is a humbucker. The sound is very good, even though I almost never use it. Many people love this pickup, and there is always a shortage of them.
Sorry but the tuning is actually CGDGCD bottom to top.

Yes, you are absolutely right. It is CGDGCD. The song is in G

Martin's great, and you do a good take on his tune. Tempted to get his lessons from Homespun which I believe teach this tune.

CGCGCD bottom to top. Also called Csus2. It compares to dadgad like D-open compares to G-open.
